All you can really say is WOW!!

 

The Denver Broncos are 6-0 for the first time since 1998 and we all know the outcome of that perfect start.

 

The air in Denver is much sweeter today than it was just seven short weeks ago when everyone including the staunchest Bronco fans had already called the season, the new coaching staff, and the once weak defense a failure.

 

This win puts the Broncos not only in a giant lead for the AFC West crown but also among the few elite and unbeaten teams in the NFL.

 

Monday nights game started off in classic Broncos vs. Chargers fashion with the teams trading blows, in fact the Chargers lead at the half 20-17.

 

The first half was about big plays, the Broncos wide receiver returned not one but two punts for touchdowns making him only the 10th player in NFL history to accomplish such a feat the Broncos won by 11 points so there is your big time player of the game.

 

After half the Broncos laid it out for the football world to see, this team is the real deal and defense is the way they get it done.

 

The amazing and growing list of statistics the Broncos defense continues to drop jaws around the game.

 

The Broncos held the Chargers to only three second half points, the Broncos have outscored opponents 76-10 in the second half.

 

Linebacker Elvis Dumervil now leads the NFL with 10 sacks, enough said there.

 

The Broncos in have not allowed a second half third down conversion over a MONTH, that’s right you just read that no second half third down conversions in over a moth giving in only 21 out of 78 attempts.

 

Then as if the bone crushing defense wasn’t enough Bronco QB Kyle Orton played a flawless game going 20-of-29 with 229 yards passing and 2 touchdowns, tucked inside of those stats was a great fourth quarter performance with Orton going 11-of-15  for 146yards and those two touchdowns.

 

With this win the Broncos take a commanding 3.5 game lead over the Chargers and look to be running away with the AFC West, if the Broncos can continue this dominance through the toughest part of their schedule following the bye week the Broncos could be the odds on favorite to win the Super Bowl.

 

We will have to wait and see but for now the Broncos appear to be the story of the season.
